Fighting Crippling Policies: Steve Barthel on Laws That Drive Up Prices and Inflation
On this episode of American Potential, guest host Heather Andrews speaks with Steve Barthel, Government and Community Relations Manager for the Minnesota Grocer Association, about the damaging effects of misguided policies that drive up costs for businesses and consumers.

Together, they explore the broader implications for inflation, job growth, and the standard of living for everyday Minnesotans.
